Testo: Buddy & Julie Miller. Cruel Moon. I'm Gonna Be Strong.

(Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)

I can see you're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay
I'm gonna be strong I'll let you go your way

Love is gone there's no sense in holding on
And your pity now would be than I could bare

I'm gonna be strong I'll pretend that I don't care

I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man

When you say it's the end I'll hand you a line
I'll smile and say don't you worry I'm fine
And you'll never know darling after you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry cry cry
